Physical Science

  •  

    Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions

    1. 3-PS2-1.

      Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object.3-PS2-1

    2. 3-PS2-2.

      Make observations and/or measurements of an object's motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion.3-PS2-2

    3. 3-PS2-3.

      Ask questions to determine cause and effect relationships of electric or magnetic interactions between two objects not in contact with each other.3-PS2-3

    4. 3-PS2-4.

      Define a simple design problem that can be solved by applying scientific ideas about magnets.3-PS2-4

Life Science

  •  

    From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes

    1. 3-LS1-1.

      Develop models to describe that organisms have unique and diverse life cycles but all have in common birth, growth, reproduction, and death.3-LS1-1

  •  

    Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics

    1. 3-LS2-1.

      Construct and support an argument that some animals form groups that help members survive.3-LS2-1

  •  

    Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits

    1. 3-LS3-1.

      Analyze and interpret data to provide evidence that plants and animals have traits inherited from their parents and that variation of these traits exists in a group of similar organisms.3-LS3-1

    2. 3-LS3-2.

      Use evidence to support the explanation that traits can be influenced by the environment.3-LS3-2

  •  

    Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity

    1. 3-LS4-1.

      Analyze and interpret data from fossils to provide evidence of the organisms and the environments in which they lived long ago.3-LS4-1

    2. 3-LS4-2.

      Use evidence to construct an explanation for how the variations in characteristics among individuals of the same species may provide advantages in surviving, finding mates, and reproducing.3-LS4-2

    3. 3-LS4-3.

      Construct and support an argument with evidence that in a particular habitat some organisms can survive well, some survive less well, and some cannot survive at all.3-LS4-3

    4. 3-LS4-4.

      Make a claim about the merit of a solution to a problem caused when the environment changes and the types of plants and animals that live there may change.3-LS4-4

Earth and Space Science

  •  

    Earth's Systems

    1. 3-ESS2-1.

      Represent data in tables and graphical displays to describe typical weather conditions expected during a particular season.3-ESS2-1

    2. 3-ESS2-2.

      Obtain and combine information to describe climates in different regions around the world.3-ESS2-2

  •  

    Earth and Human Activity

    1. 3-ESS3-1.

      Make a claim about the merit of a design solution that reduces the impact of a weather-related hazard.3-ESS3-1
